Health Benefits of Drinking Water

Health Benefits

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), water regulates body temp, lubricates joints, protects your spinal cord, and helps get rid of bodily waste via urination, perspiration, and bowel movements. I mean, can I be real here? Being regular should be all you need to convince you to drink water. We’re adults here, and regularity is really a thing.

The CDC also recommends plain drinking water as it has no calories and can also help regulate weight. I, however, rotate plain drinking water with flavored sparkling waters with low or no calories such as the ones by the brand Sparkling ICE with my lunch at work when I want a sweeter beverage.
